Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh blueberries, mint leaves, and additional honey for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes, then stir again to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the pudding to thicken and set.
- Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Layer the pudding in glass jars or bowls with fresh blueberries.
- Top with additional fresh blueberries, a few mint leaves, and a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful, nutritious breakfast!
Helpful Tips
For a smoother texture, you can blend the chia pudding mixture before chilling. This will break down the seeds and give you a more pudding-like consistency.
If fresh blueberries are out of season, feel free to use frozen ones. Just make sure to thaw them before layering.
Storage Instructions
The Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This makes it perfect for meal prep and quick breakfasts throughout the week.
Ingredient Substitutions
If almond milk isn’t your preferred choice, you can substitute it with any plant-based or dairy milk.
Maple syrup can be swapped with agave nectar or honey, depending on your taste preference and dietary restrictions.
Pairings
This delicious pudding pairs beautifully with a hot cup of herbal tea or a freshly brewed coffee. For a heartier breakfast, enjoy it alongside a slice of whole-grain toast topped with avocado and a sprinkle of salt.
